I've been making this chili for about 9 years now, newly married then, searching for a chili recipe, and this was the winner. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this chili, whenever I make it I NEVER HAVE LEFTOVERS!!!

Just because I didn't have the right ingredients, I modified this a little. We used pre-cooked meatballs instead of beef crumbles and Cajun seasoning instead of chili powder. I think the Cajun seasoning gave it a nice mellow "kick" instead of the usual chili kick.

So easy, and absolutely delicious! I let it sit all day in the slow cooker and we are now enjoying the leftovers.

I've never had this style of chili before. I really loved this. The flavor was quite surprising and delightful. I know the spaghetti is traditional for this kind of chili, but...I just don't like it over spaghetti. Later I had a second bowl with oyster crackers instead of spaghetti, and I preferred that much more. I would worry about cooking this for other people because it's not your normal chili. My dad liked it, but my mom couldn't stand it.

I have to weigh in as well as a former Cincinnatian. Very yummy! Not quite Skyline but I think that would be difficult! It did satisfy the craving! I made it with ground beef as the only change and my husband and I loved it!

Well, I have to say that reading the other reviews has been really funny! Seems there is a different version of this from everyone that considers themselves an expert on the subject. Bottom line is that this is a good recipe regardless. The fact that it has chocolate in it makes it a non-traditional chili, so not everyone will like it! I fixed it for a big family get together and we all thought it was very good! I think it would be better to stop hearing how authentic it is and just plain old "do we like the recipe?" What is good about this recipe or not good based on our preferences. There are a zillion "skyline" recipes on this site and no two are the same! Will the real Skyline Chili please stand up! Sorry could not resist.

I haven't made this particular recipe, but Cincinnati Style Chili is my absolute favorite food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To me, it is better than lobster, and I'm a big seafood lover! Try this recipe out. It is really great on hot dogs with shreaded mild cheddar cheese. I am from Cincinnati, but we don't live there anymore so this is a delicacy to my family. It's always a big deal for our family when we get together and make this. Yummy yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, but not as good as some recipes I have had for Cinci style chili. And a true Skyline lover would know... you don't mix the beans in! Instead, you cook the chili, ladle the beans on top of the spaghetti, and follow it up with the cheese. You wouldn't be making a true Skyline-tasting chili by mixing the beans in. Also, and this is probably a matter of personal preference, I like to use red pinto beans instead of kidney beans. Kidney beans make it taste too much like a Texas style chili. One other tip: To make it more authentic-tasting, use a hand blender to grind up the meat very fine. It's much better finely ground than in a chunky form.

I make this recipe often, especially for my veggie friends. I usually serve it with the beans (along with chopped red onions) as an optional topping. Doubles very well.

I had a few reservations about this recipe. When it was cooking, it smelled cinnamony, which was just odd. When I tasted it though, it had an interesting and rich flavor. My husband loved it, and ate all the leftovers. The color of this dish is great, and looks like you spent hours simmering and cooking. I added ground turkey instead of the soy crumbles, since I can't have soy products. It was great!

I used ground beef, doubled the liquid ingredients, but only increased the spices by another half, and every one loved it. I served it with spagetti and lots of shredded cheese on top...YUM!! It's a "keeper" in our household. Thanks

This is a wonderful recipe! I changed a couple of things, I used extra crumbels 6oz, half the sugar, and no water. And a little extra hot sauce, it was so good. Even the meat eaters had seconds! I served it over pasta with cheese.

Good change if you like chili. You can taste the cocoa and cinnamon if you think about it; I did not find it was too sweet. Do add all the hot pepper sauce; I looked at 1 tsp and thought WOW, too much, but even those without much taste for heat will be fine. I've made this several times and now heavily modify it to reduce the number of half-used cans of vegetables & sauce it creates: After frying the garlic/onions and hamburger meat (I use ordinary ground beef, 1 pound) add a 29-ounce can of diced tomatoes (undrained) and all the spices/flavourings, omit the tomato sauce and water, cook 15 minutes; add a whole 19-ounce can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed, and cook another 15 minutes. The cheddar is nice but you won't miss it if you want to avoid the fat (of course you could use low fat or something).

I've tried several kinds of vegetarian chili and this is the first "keeper." I absolutely love the combination of spicy with a hint of sweetness, and the texture of the spaghetti feels just right. One thing I would recommend is letting it simmer (with beans) longer than suggested because I noticed I enjoyed it much more when I reheated it the next day because the flavors had been given more time to blend.

Delicious! I used crumbled (frozen then thawed crumbles better) tofu in place of the burger crumbles and I assure you it worked great! Better the next day, my boyfriend loved it also.
